‘Outside’ is the final song on Catfish and the Bottlemen’s sophomore album ‘The Ride’. As the final song, it seems to hold more weight than the others, and in fact many references to other songs on the album are made throughout the song.
[Verse 1]
We let them knock like crazy
'Cause I'd not seen her in months
And she knew how to save me
For the craic though carried on
And I know I've pushed boundaries sometimes
But she knows she's worse
I've missed this, I was bound to
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I just came along for the ride
And I tried my best to
Keep away from you
But you just stepped off of a flight
And now you beg for my company
'Cause you know I'll give it you all
Tell your sister to wait
[Chorus 1]
'Cause there's no one in the life I knew
That got through to me
But when you talk about nothing
You tend to lose me
'Cause there's nothing in the life I knew
That got through to me
But when you talk about nothing
Yeah, that's when you lose me
I used to carry you through town
You used to smother me in lippy
Now if we ever get an hour together
[Verse 2]
Let them talk behind us
'Cause I'd not seen her in months
And they knew how to find us
For the craic though carry on
And I know I push boundaries at times
But she's just as bad
I've missed this, I was bound to
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I just came along for the ride
And I tried my best to
Keep away from you
Tell your sister to wait
[Chorus 2]
'Cause there's no one in the life I knew
That got through to me
But when you talk about nothing
You tend to lose me
'Cause there's nothing in the life I knew
That got through to me
But when you scream about nothing
Yeah, that's when you lose me
[Post-Chorus 2]
I used to carry you through town
You used to smother me in lippy
Now if we ever get an hour together
It's like I'm on the outside
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I just come along for the ride
And I tried my best to
Keep away from you
But you just stepped off of a flight
And now you beg for my company
'Cause you know I'll give it you all
Tell your sister to wait
[Chorus 3]
'Cause there's no one in the life I knew
That got through to me
But when you talk about nothing
You tend to lose me
'Cause there's nothing in the life I knew
That got through to me
But when you're kicking off at nothing
Yeah, that's when you lose me
[Post-Chorus 3]
I used to carry you through town
You used to smother me in lippy
Now if we ever get an hour together
You act like you miss me
